All the highlights of the south in one tour
Our driver Mutasin was very funny and helpful. He brought us snacks and was also driving very carefully. We saw many attractions, much more than what was originally advertised here, which made us very happy. Duration of the tour was ideal and we also asked for a slight change in the schedule and they were flexible. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Awesome last minute booking!
Booked this tour the night before. Tour confirmed minutes later. Driver showed up next morning as planned. Awesome tour of South Mauritius hot spots! Full day at a great pace to take it all in! Rishiki is the best driver. Booked for a second tour (North Mauritius) days later.

NOT recommended , overrated and overpriced
We really liked the tour, as we did not know any better.... then we learned that the price was crazy hight and we could have had a much better, longer and more professional tour ( private ) for half price ( we are family of 4 ) with local (fully licenced) travel agency. Our friends chose another company, cheaper and their tour was much longer and better, flexible from the driver & guide side, much more fun and places visited .... So overall, we do NOT recommend. We were also told, that most big companies, just outsource vehicles and drivers, they do NOT own anything,avoid responsiblities and employ "houswives" as guides....at the end just "collect the money"
Response from the operator: Good morning from Mauritius. We genuinely welcome all reviews—good or bad—because every comment helps us improve. That said, as the manager personally reviewing our records, I have carefully checked all bookings on Viator and could not locate yours. At this stage, we are unable to identify you as a confirmed client. Kindly share your booking ID so we can properly verify and address your feedback. Regarding the pricing, this was clearly stated before booking, along with the full itinerary. The tour is a full 8-hour experience. If you and your family completed the visits faster than expected, unfortunately that is beyond our control and does not change the agreed service or duration. Lastly, for clarity, our company operates 55+ vehicles, including sedans, minibuses, small and medium rental cars, and we also own our own pleasure craft boat. We take pride in our scale, professionalism, and transparency. Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Once again, we look forward to receiving your booking reference so we can respond accurately and fairly.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Full Day Tour in Mauritius: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Port Louis.
How much does Private Full Day Tour in Mauritius cost?
+
Prices start at $138 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Port Louis usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Full Day Tour in Mauritius take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Port Louis is not rushed.
Is Private Full Day Tour in Mauritius worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Port Louis, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Full Day Tour in Mauritius?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Full Day Tour in Mauritius suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Full Day Tour in Mauritius?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Port Louis can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Port Louis and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Full Day Tour in Mauritius start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Port Louis within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Port Louis?
+
On Outty we rank every Port Louis experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mesmerizing south west guided tour of mauritius. (Vallé optional), Private taxi : North guided tour of mauritius., Port-Louis Street Food Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Port Louis?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Port Louis?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; Guide: In-person: English, French / Written: Spanish, German, Italian; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

What languages is Private Full Day Tour in Mauritius offered in?
+
